Affidavit of Identity

AFFIDAVIT OF IDENTITY (ONE AND THE SAME PERSON) I, [deponent_name], son/daughter/wife of [deponent_father_name], aged about [deponent_age] years, residing at [deponent_address], do hereby solemnly affirm and state on oath as follows: 1. That I am the deponent herein and am competent to swear this affidavit. 2. That my name has been recorded differently in different documents, as follows: (a) In [document_one], my name appears as "[name_variant_one]". (b) In [document_two], my name appears as "[name_variant_two]". 3. That both the names stated above refer to ONE AND THE SAME PERSON, namely myself, and that there is no other person of either name in respect of the said documents. 4. That the variation has arisen on account of an inadvertent clerical or transcription error, and not on account of any change of name or any attempt to assume a different identity. 5. That my true and correct name is "[correct_name]", and I request that the same be treated as correct for all purposes. 6. That this affidavit is being made for the purpose of [purpose]. 7. That I undertake to indemnify and hold harmless any person or institution acting on the basis of this affidavit against any loss or claim arising from any incorrect statement made herein. 8. That the statements made above are true to my personal knowledge, that nothing material has been concealed, and that I am aware that a false statement in this affidavit would render me liable to prosecution in accordance with law. DEPONENT [deponent_name] VERIFICATION I, the deponent above named, verify that the contents of paragraphs 1 to 8 of this affidavit are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief, that no part of it is false, and that nothing material has been concealed. Verified at [place] on this [affidavit_date]. DEPONENT [deponent_name] SWORN AND SIGNED BEFORE ME Notary Public / Oath Commissioner Regn. No.: Seal: NOTES - An affidavit must be sworn before a person authorised to administer oaths under the Oaths Act, 1969 — a Notary Public, an Oath Commissioner or a Magistrate. - The stamp value required varies by State and by the authority to which the affidavit is being submitted. Confirm before swearing. - Carry photo identification and the original documents showing both name variants when attending before the notary. - Where the object is to CHANGE your name rather than to reconcile a clerical variation, a name change deed followed by publication in the Official Gazette is the appropriate route, not this affidavit.
